Lyrics
The collector's at my door
What can you do for me?
Hey!
No romance without finance
No romance without finance
Boy, nothing in life is free
That's why I'm asking you
What can you do for me?
I've got responsibilities
So I'm looking for a man
Who's got some money in his hand
'Cause nothing from nothing
Leaves nothing
You got to have something
If you wanna be with me
'Cause life is too serious
Love's too mysterious
A fly girl like me needs security
'Cause ain't nothing going on but the rent
You got to have a J-O-B
If you wanna be with me
Ain't nothing going on but the rent
You got to have a J-O-B
If you wanna be with me
No romance without finance
No romance without finance
Boy, your silky ways are sweet
But we're only wasting time
If your pockets are empty
I got lots of love to give
But I will have to avoid
You if you're unemployed
'Cause nothing from nothing
Leaves nothing
You got to have something
If you wanna be with me
'Cause life is too serious
Love's too mysterious
A fly girl like me needs security
'Cause ain't nothing going on but the rent
You got to have a J-O-B
If you wanna be with me
Ain't nothing going on but the rent
You got to have a J-O-B
If you wanna be with me
No romance without finance
I said no romance without finance
No romance without finance
I said no romance without finance
Oh, you look good to me
Your silky ways are sweet
But your pockets sure look empty
Ain't nothing going on but the rent
I'm looking for a man
To put some money in my hand
